A Bibliometric Review of Agent-Based Models in Operations Research Proceedings Article Malere, João Pedro Pinheiro; Belderrain, Mischel Carmen Neyra Resumo | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Agent-Based Model, Multi-Agent System @inproceedings{Jo\~{a}o2018Agent-Basedb,Modeling and simulation are used to improve the understanding of a system’s behavior, allowing explanatory and predictive capabilities. More specifically, Agent-Based Models are a particular class of computer models for simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents within themselves and with an environment. This approach is often used on systems where there are complex relationships and distributed resources. This work presents a bibliometric review of Agent- Based Models (ABM) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in the area of Operations Research. The first part presents a broader view of ABM during the period from 2007 to 2017 for an understanding of the fields where this approach is used. The second part presents a more specific analysis of Agent-Based Models in the area of operations research. The results show that this Agent-Base Models and Multi-Agents Systems are used on a variety of fields, including artificial intelligence and social sciences, and that in Operations Research they are used for a variety of applications including optimization and systems modeling. |
